The night was as dark as ink, the stars were hidden behind thick clouds, and only a few pale moonlight remained.
In the quiet night, the chirping of insects seemed to be suppressed by the condensed atmosphere, becoming sparse and low.
In Ye Ruilin's room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting his slightly tired but still profound face.
After practicing and dealing with various matters in the past few days, even he felt a little bit mentally tired.
Just as he was about to turn off the lights and adjust his breathing, a steady and hesitant knock on the door broke the tranquility.
"Dong, dong dong..."
The sound was not loud, but it seemed particularly clear in this silent night.
Ye Ruilin raised his eyebrows slightly, at this point in time, who could it be?
He stood up, and the Soul Power fluctuations around his body quietly disappeared, returning to his usual calmness.
Opening the door, the figure standing outside made Ye Ruilin's eyes flash with surprise.
The tall and straight figure, the angular face, and the brows carry a lingering arrogance and a struggle that is difficult to conceal at this moment.
It is Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the leader of the younger generation, Yu Tianxin.
"Tian Xin? I came to visit late at night, but something happened?"
Ye Ruilin turned sideways and motioned for the other party to come in.
Yu Tianxin stood outside the door, the moonlight outlined his tight lips, showing his inner unrest.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and then stepped into the room.
He did not look at the furnishings in the room, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Ye Ruilin, with a kind of scrutiny, a kind of exploration, and deeper, an uncontrollable desire.
"Brother Ye."
Yu Tianxin's voice was a little dry, and he seemed to be considering his words. In his sharp eyes, the usual arrogance was replaced by a trace of hesitation.
"A few days ago, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... what you said to me, I wonder... can you still count it?"
His voice became lower and lower, as if the question had exhausted all his courage.
For the direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who have always shown themselves to be arrogant and powerful, this is undoubtedly an almost bowing gesture.
Ye Ruilin Hearing this, the corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of understanding.
He did not answer immediately, but turned around, walked to the table, poured a glass of warm water for Yu Tianxin, and handed it over.
"Naturally do numbers."
Ye Ruilin's voice is calm, but it carries an unquestionable power.
"I, Ye Ruilin, always stick to my word when I speak."
"I said that there is a way to make your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which has reached its ultimate level, go one step further and even... touch the legendary realm."
"The legendary realm..."
Yu Tianxin The hand holding the water glass tightened suddenly, and the knuckles turned slightly white from the exertion.
The water in the cup rippled, reflecting the sudden burst of fiery light in his eyes.
Martial Soul Evolution!
This is the ultimate goal that countless top Beast Martial Soul owners dream of.
Especially for families like them with a long heritage and Martial Soul quality that has reached its peak.
Any possibility of evolution is enough to make them pay any price!
He raised his head suddenly, staring at Ye Ruilin with stern eyes, his tone was decisive, with a determination that would break the boat.
"Brother Ye! If you can really help me Martial Soul Evolution, I, Yu Tianxin, am willing to follow you. From now on, I will only follow your lead."
These words were as loud as thunder falling to the ground.
For a person of Yu Tianxin's status, making such a promise is so weighty that it can shake mountains.
Ye Ruilin looked at him, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, but he did not immediately accept this heavy allegiance.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making regular sounds, as if he was weighing something.
"Follow?"
Ye Ruilin smiled faintly and asked.
"It's better for you to do it."
"But, what should you do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind you?"
"As far as I know, Yu Tianheng is the sect's default successor."
"If you follow me, what will you say to your family? Are you going to completely separate yourself from the sect that gave birth to you and raised you?"
This question is like a sharp blade, piercing the deepest part of Yu Tianxin's heart.
His face instantly became a little pale, and his breathing became a little faster.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, that is the place where he grew up, his root, and the source of all his pride.
The thought of giving up the family bit into his heart like a poisonous snake.
Yu Tianxin gritted his teeth tightly, and a trace of blood even oozed from his gums.
Pain and struggle flashed in his eyes, but in the end, the ultimate desire for power and the obsession to transcend fate overwhelmed everything.
"In order to become stronger, in order to... no longer succumb to others,"
His voice was hoarse, with a hint of trembling, but extremely firm.
"I can... quit the family!"
As long as I can get my Martial Soul Evolution, I can afford this price!"
After the words fell, the room fell into a brief silence.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the determined and painful expression on Yu Tianxin's face particularly clearly.
"Haha..."
Ye Ruilin suddenly chuckled and shook his head.
His laughter was not loud, but it made Yu Tianxin startled suddenly and looked at him with some confusion.
"Tian Xin, you seem to have made a mistake."
Ye Ruilin's gaze became sharp, as if he could penetrate people's hearts.
"I am not helping you to ask you to give up everything you have, nor am I asking you to abandon the sect and become a rootless duckweed."
"Brother Ye, what do you mean..."
Yu Tianxin is a little confused.
Ye Ruilin stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window at the deep night.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, why must it belong to Yu Tianheng?"
These words, like a bolt of lightning, instantly split open the fog in Yu Tianxin's mind.
His body shook violently, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Ye Ruilin's back in disbelief.
"Your talent is not weaker than Yu Tianheng, it is even better in some aspects."
"What you lack is an opportunity to surpass him, a power that allows you to truly surpass him."
Ye Ruilin turned around, looked at Yu Tianxin with burning eyes, and spoke word by word.
"The position of a sect's heir is never obtained through charity or pre-determination, but through absolute strength."
"As long as you are stronger than Yu Tianheng, you will be so strong that all the clan members, including those old guys, will be speechless."
"Then, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's future will be controlled by you, Yu Tianxin!"
"Instead of living in his shadow like now, placing hope on my 'charity', even giving up my roots for it."
Ye Ruilin's words were like Hong Zhong Da Lu, striking Yu Tianxin's heart hard.
Yes!
Isn't it just because I have been suppressed by the light of Yu Tianheng that I have been unwilling to do so?
Why do I think of giving up and escaping instead of seizing it openly?
